We understand how important it is for you to be able to put your imagination down on paper, to share a really cool idea or character that you've been thinking about since high school, or to tell a story that will knock someone's socks off. We understand the highs and lows, the struggles and the joys that come with creating something. Schoolism was created by artists to benefit artists even our Help Desk is staffed by artists, so we get it. If you're passionate, you want to learn, and you're willing to work hard, we want to do what we can to make the best education available to you. Schoolism bridges this gap by also making this elite education available to anyone anywhere in the world, because we believe your dream shouldn't be limited by where you live or what you can afford.

Almost immediately, it was apparent that this idea could benefit not just Bobby and Kei but artists everywhere if they could bring that education to the world and project it globally.Īs anyone who has been to art college knows, top art education is prohibitively expensive and the students who are lucky enough to get in remain in debt for many years after they've finished their programs. With the help and advice of other inspirational artists, Bobby formulated a plan to learn from his heroes by harnessing the power of the internet. And as often happens, this little idea sprouted and grew quickly. Democratized education across the globeīefore Schoolism even had a name, it was the seed of a simple idea: Bobby and Kei wanted to learn from the top professionals in the industry. It is in his blood to try to motivate and inspire others while also pushing his own skills further and further. Teaching is extremely important to him and has always been a part of what drives him as an artist. When Bobby was a teacher in college, he hosted the Toronto Subway Sketch Group for five years where he taught anyone who attended for free.

Bobby, who is one of the co-founders of Imaginism Studios along with Kei Acedera, wanted to expand his art knowledge by learning from the industry's best. This is the main idea that drove concept artist, Bobby Chiu, to create Schoolism. “To become the best, you must learn from the best.”
